Q 3) The horizontal rigid beam ABCD is
supported by vertical bars BE and CF and is
loaded by vertical forces P1=400kN and P2=
360 kN acting at points A and D , respectively
(see figure). Bars BE and CF are made of steel
(E=200GPa) and have cross-sectional areas
ABE=11,100mm2 and ACF=9,280mm2. The
distances between various points on the bars are
shown in the figure.
Determine the vertical displacements A and D
of points A and D, respectively.
